    3:13 "I can't believe I tried to hurt you, I hope you forgive me." I love that. That is *deeply* personal and that's the type of emotional depth and vulnerability music is missing nowadays. Artists make "emotional" music all the time but they don't bare their soul. This man made his guilt and anguish over almost aborting his son into a song for millions to listen to. That takes balls. Asking for forgiveness. That takes balls and is very vulnerable. I respect that.

I’m gonna be something for my children and they will one day know that I struggled for everything that I gave them . And I’m not ashamed . I remember rubbing two nickels together just to figure how to pay bills . Thank you Joyner for speaking the words of how I once felt . To all this fathers out there I hope god bless you man.

    It started with the I’m Not Racist video and then went to people including me loving his music because of all the sensitive and deep topics that he raps about brings people together. He also tries to create peace with the world with his music. Legend on its way👌🏽💯

      Actually it didn't start with I'm racist the song just gave him more recognition it started with this album that's when in that moment a star is born

    2 Pac would be proud of you Joyner, you make shit from the heart like he had.
    Reguardless you are one of the greats already, next to J Cole, Wale, and Kendrick.

      He's not underrated at all he's just not an industry puppet getting all this exposure. The man is dope the best out if you ask me I hope he stays indie cause the industry will change everything about his music they wouldn't let him tell his message like he wants to tell it. Same goes for mysoone and Hopsin.

    I had my daughter at 16. Before her I had no motive in life and didn’t know what I wanted to be. I got Kicked out from home because I was pregnant so then I was homeless and pregnant but I pulled through found a place to stay, got a job and finished high school. No one was at my graduation but me and my daughter. I just finished a qualification and currently studying business to eventually start my own. My daughter is my motivation to live and keep doing what I have to do for US.
